Canadiens Soaring Goalie Should Hit New Level
The Montreal Canadiens' 2024-25 season had plenty of good stories. One of them was certainly goaltender Jakub Dobes, as the 24-year-old netminder demonstrated plenty of promise after being called up to the Habs' roster in late December.

What the Puck: Dach, Newhook and Laine are Habs' wild cards
With many players on the Canadiens roster, you have a pretty darn good idea of what you'll get from them. Nick Suzuki, for example, couldn't be more predictable. The Habs captain, a veritable Iron Man, has played all 82 games of each of the last four seasons, and his points total has been on a steady upward swing during those seasons, going from 61 to 66 to 77 to 89 last season, when he finally made it to the more than a point-a-game pace. You don't need to worry about Slick Nick. The same goes for his buddy and linemate Cole Caufield. You know he'll score a bunch of goals and he's steadily becoming a much more accomplished two-way player, with a little help from his coach Martin St. Louis.

You can also count on supporting players like Josh Anderson, Brendan Gallagher, and Jake Evans to do their job with much intensity. On the back-end, there are fewer queries around the defence corps. But questions most certainly surround other Habs. One of the intriguing discussions right now amongst Habs fans is who they think is the team's biggest wild card going into next season, as in the guy who could show up much improved and change the narrative. Or on the other hand, the dude who may take a step or two backward and pull the team in the wrong direction. Right at the top of the wild-card list for many is Kirby Dach. If the wildly inconsistent Dach turned out to be a solid second-line centre, this would be a huge win for the Canadiens. Me, I don't think Dach's a wild card. I firmly believe the jury is in on this former third-overall pick. He wasn't good with the Blackhawks and he hasn't been good with the bleu blanc rouge. Coming a close second in the wild-card sweepstakes is Alex Newhook. If he could suddenly ingest some hockey sense and add that to his tremendous skating, would that also change the dynamic of this forward group? Sadly it's not that likely. Maybe the biggest what-ifs hover around Patrik Laine. Can the Finnish enigma get back to the hot-shot form of his first two years in Winnipeg or the 2021-2022 campaign in Columbus when he scored 26 goals and garnered 52 points in 52 games? A point a game from Laine and the team's almost guaranteed to make the playoffs. Then there's the never-ending Juraj Slafkovsky debate. Can the big Slovakian winger live up to his own words and start playing a gritty power-forward game à la Brady Tkachuk? Time will tell. And how about Ivan Demidov? He had flashes of brilliance in his first few games with the Habs and that has some already thinking he's a lock on the Calder Trophy, which would be pretty incredible, given that Lane Hutson just won it this past season. But this will be his first full season in the best hockey league in the world. Is he ready for prime time? I think so. Here is what some fans said when I asked the question on social media about who they thought was the Canadiens' most noted wild card. Michael Sansnom: My actual wild-card player is someone not on the NHL roster: Florian Xhekaj. Also, will Arber have a regular roster spot? I know fans want it, but there was a reason he was a healthy scratch last year and I hope he makes progress this year. The wild card for the team is whether they can find someone to play second-line centre. It isn't Newhook. I'm not confident in Dach but they may put him there. Laine and Demidov need someone tough who can make place for their playmaking and scoring. Steve Sicard: Based on the injury history, Dach would be my pick for the player who could really shine or really struggle. Next would be Newhook. Will he be the player who had a mere 26 points in 82 games last season, or the player who had 34 points in 55 games (a 51-point full season) a season earlier? I would say Newhook could find himself with a different team come October. Olivier Mathieu: (Joe) Veleno. There's the context: Playing in Montreal with a younger and exciting team; low stress levels ($900k salary = low expectations); a real possibility for him to prove himself. If he seizes the chance, he could have a significant impact on the team. He's got to be in the right chair and has to tap into that potential he's known for. Peter Bisaillion: Patrick Laine's shot was without peer. His skating was always laboured. The word speed was simply not applicable. Should he be able to correct that weakness and provide defensive play, then he belongs on a top-six forward line. If not, third line minutes only. Joe Brimo: Has to be Dach. If he performs, the team will be better than last year. If he doesn't …
